I took my 6-year-old cat, Macie, to see Dr. Harmon THREE times (9/22/20, 3/16/21, & 4/01/21) for the same persistent symptoms (recurrent vomiting & excessive thirst). This was while they had their COVID rules that made owners wait in our cars, so I didn't know what all he was doing. He would just bring Macie out, tell me her "numbers" looked fine and that he gave her a dose of anti-nausea medication, hand me a small baggie of prescription dry food, and send me home.
After my second visit in March, I called and asked what labs he ran to check her kidney functions (since Macie was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease the year earlier). Turns out he didn't even order any blood work! He just did a basic exam and gave her a shot of Cerenia. So, I had to bring her back in a couple weeks later and insisted he run a kidney profile and take x-rays. Again, I was told everything was fine and sent home with some dry food. Note that Macie is now TERRIFIED of her carrier and going to the vet, so making multiple trips is very traumatic for her.
My vet-tech sister-in-law urged me to get a second opinion since Macie was STILL vomiting, so I took her to the Altoona Veterinary Hospital on Monday, where they quickly diagnosed her with a severe Urinary Tract Infection that had spread to her kidneys.
Her SDMA, BUN, Calcium, and Creatinine were all elevated, and they told me that her BUN and Calcium had BEEN elevated in both the 09/22/20 & 04/01/21 lab records they received from Oaks.
This means that Dr. Harmon was aware that her kidney function was poor, but essentially ignored it, and didn't even bother checking her urine. Macie has been in pain for months because of his negligence.
I will NEVER take Macie back to Oaks, or recommend Dr. Harmon to any fellow pet owner.
If you care about your pets at all, don't take them here!

In my previous life, I took my Shibas to Value Vet, which is a great place. When I got my current Shiba I lived farther away from Value Vet but was given the recommendation for Oaks. Ive been coming here for a year. It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood and aesthetically speaking, it's like secret garden adorable. I enjoy coming here. The doctor and staff are great and seem to genuinely like and care about my pet. I like that he is constantly reinforced with treats while getting shots, toenails clipped, etc. The prices are extremely reasonable, which I thought about Value Vet but this is like really cheap. It's a great place to take your pet!

Dr. Harmon and all of the Drs and Vet Techs are by far the most compassionate, caring of any I have ever experienced. I've come into their clinic crying with a hamster with a broken leg, a new rescue dog who was very sick with heartworm, and my other dog who had just been hit by a car outside of their business hours.

We've been going to Oaks since I was a little kid - first with previous vet - Dr. Johnson? - and now with current vets. I can't fathom going anywhere else where a vet could care so much about your pet and you. They remember every cat, dog or whatever your pet is. There isn't an ego in the place and it's full of common sense. If your pet is having an issue, the vet will walk you through all of your treatment options and help you choose what's the best fit for you. When my year old kitten was diagnosed with cancer, one that couldn't be officially diagnosed without invasive and expensive procedures done at ISU, Dr. Benham, walked us through what we our options were. We skipped the Ames step and just worked on keeping her healthy and happy during her final year. We had her for an additional 9 months which was truly a blessing and we only had to go in once a month for some anti-biotic and steroid injections. While we saved thousands of dollars, I know she got the best treatment available with little to no stress.

This place is the best Vet hospital I have ever come across. The doctor was so caring and loving to our chinchilla. Knew exactly how to handle her and know if she was healthy or not. The price for her medication and visit was extremely reasonable cause we didn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a visit and meds. They took in my chinchilla even though they were fully booked, but because they knew it was an emergency they took her in. I highly recommend this place for all pet needs.

Our dog became ill overnight. We tried to see if someone could see us to see what was wrong and what we could do. We were turned away with a sick vomiting dog because they were appointments only. No exceptions. We went to another clinic, Chalk Animal Clinic, who saw us right away with no additional charges for arriving at the beginning of their busy day. We have left Oaks for the other clinic. The doctors seemed to have compassion for a sick animal instead of being cold hearted and leaving us in a lurch without an appointment. I might add that there was no one at Oaks. It was empty. It took the other doctor a few minutes to look over our dog, suggest a treatment, and gave us a fair price. Oaks has lost a customer for good.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Harmon and his staff at Oaks Veterinary. He has been my family vet for years and has seen me go through the best and the worst of times. The expertise, empathy and compassion for his customers and their pets is far beyond anything I ever experienced with any other Veterinarian, and I've had pets my entire life. I can call anytime and receive the information I need (even if it may seem dumb at times I'm sure) immediately or I get a call within a very reasonable time. They are so good about working in emergencies and urgent needs which is so important especially when you have older pets. I talk to others sometimes while I'm waiting and we all agree - we'd NEVER go anywhere else. I've seen some fancy new clinics going up but their prices are through the ceililngs as well. Dr. Harmon's clinic is smaller and older, but his prices are reasonable and he will work with you if the need is there. He's so good about handing you a bag of special food or whatever and say try this and see if it helps. Another big plus is my pets don't get all nervous about visiting their doctor. I know some still do, but it's usually pretty layed back in there and every pet leaves with a treat. Of course my dog knows right where they are and will try to help herself even if someone else is already in the treatment room! I really like the fact that everyone is on a first name basis - it's like family. Most of his staff has been there a long time now and know their clients. It's amazing how they remember names and histories which makes me feel all the more confident in the care my pets will receive. I definitely have a lot of faith in Dr. Harmon. I don't know what I'll do when he decides to retire. It will be a huge loss to all of us.

This place is the best Vet hospital I have ever come across. The doctor was so caring and loving to our chinchilla. Knew exactly how to handle her and know if she was healthy or not. The price for her medication and visit was extremely reasonable cause we didn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a visit and meds. They took in my chinchilla even though they were fully booked, but because they knew it was an emergency they took her in. I highly recommend this place for all pet needs.

Our dog became ill overnight. We tried to see if someone could see us to see what was wrong and what we could do. We were turned away with a sick vomiting dog because they were appointments only. No exceptions. We went to another clinic, Chalk Animal Clinic, who saw us right away with no additional charges for arriving at the beginning of their busy day. We have left Oaks for the other clinic. The doctors seemed to have compassion for a sick animal instead of being cold hearted and leaving us in a lurch without an appointment. I might add that there was no one at Oaks. It was empty. It took the other doctor a few minutes to look over our dog, suggest a treatment, and gave us a fair price. Oaks has lost a customer for good.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Harmon and his staff at Oaks Veterinary. He has been my family vet for years and has seen me go through the best and the worst of times. The expertise, empathy and compassion for his customers and their pets is far beyond anything I ever experienced with any other Veterinarian, and I've had pets my entire life. I can call anytime and receive the information I need (even if it may seem dumb at times I'm sure) immediately or I get a call within a very reasonable time. They are so good about working in emergencies and urgent needs which is so important especially when you have older pets. I talk to others sometimes while I'm waiting and we all agree - we'd NEVER go anywhere else. I've seen some fancy new clinics going up but their prices are through the ceililngs as well. Dr. Harmon's clinic is smaller and older, but his prices are reasonable and he will work with you if the need is there. He's so good about handing you a bag of special food or whatever and say try this and see if it helps. Another big plus is my pets don't get all nervous about visiting their doctor. I know some still do, but it's usually pretty layed back in there and every pet leaves with a treat. Of course my dog knows right where they are and will try to help herself even if someone else is already in the treatment room! I really like the fact that everyone is on a first name basis - it's like family. Most of his staff has been there a long time now and know their clients. It's amazing how they remember names and histories which makes me feel all the more confident in the care my pets will receive. I definitely have a lot of faith in Dr. Harmon. I don't know what I'll do when he decides to retire. It will be a huge loss to all of us.
